FOREWORD The Third Edition of the Conservation Recipes is published in order to meet, as far as possible, the needs of the housewife in conforming strictly to the latest rulings of the Food Administration. The following ration is given as a guide only. It must vary from time to time as the food situa- tion changes. Be alert and watch for all Food Conservation reports and be guided intelligently by them.
